Painting Description
"Charles Robert Darwin 1809-82 1849" is a lithographic portrait by Thomas Herbert Maguire, an English artist known for his portraits of prominent figures in the Victorian era. The portrait depicts Charles Darwin, the renowned British naturalist and geologist famous for his contributions to the science of evolution. Created in 1849, the lithograph shows Darwin at the age of 40, a decade after his voyage on the HMS Beagle and before the publication of his seminal work, "On the Origin of Species" in 1859.
Maguire's portrait is part of a series commissioned by the Royal Society of London for the promotion of natural knowledge, which aimed to document the likenesses of notable scientists of the time. The image presents Darwin in a contemplative pose, reflecting his intellectual stature and the significance of his scientific endeavors. The lithograph is an important historical artifact, capturing the visage of Darwin during a critical period of his life when he was developing his theory of natural selection.
The portrait is characterized by its fine detail and the use of lithography, a printing process that was becoming increasingly popular in the 19th century for its ability to produce high-quality images. Maguire's work contributed to the dissemination of Darwin's image, helping to solidify his reputation among both the scientific community and the general public. Today, the lithograph is not only a work of art but also a piece of scientific heritage, reflecting the intersection of art, science, and history during the Victorian era.
